Does anyone happen to have part numbers for the Toyota hub stud and / or locking nut?
Thanks in advance!

I have had the trail mart ones for almost 4 years never had one let loose broke 3 stock hubs before that in my opinion the only reason for them is to get the extra torque so they don't come loose if you are good about checking your stock ones I think they will be fine also all that being said flanges are the way to go for sure if your not street driving
Someone link a picture, I'm very curious about this now.
You really want to use hardened washers under the heads of high tensile socket head cap screws BTW. There's less bearing area under the head so you need something to distribute load unless there's a reason that you can't. Regular lock washers need not apply.
FWIW I was running TG flanges on all 4 corners. Actually split 2 of those as well...
From when Wizzo did the same mod to his old rig.

What a weird hub setup.
Those are the most useless lockwashers you can get. They only partially work from spring tension (they have very little tension), don't work properly once they're tightened down because the split cutting edge is flat to the surface, they're split so they don't distribute load very evenly, and can also spread apart so the diameter unintentionally changes. Basically, you'd be better served with a good quality hardened washer which works much better as a washer and just as well as a lockwasher (did I mention split lockwashers suck?)...
Basically, those lockwashers are making things worse. If they aren't making things worse, that means the problem is probably something very different than what you think it is.
I get the feeling you have never worked on a Toyota or Samurai front axle before.

design that is far past it's intended usage
Has no one produced a hub with a splined drive plate instead of the stud
